COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for assisting all governmental authorities and local retail food protection programs. Therefore, FDA inspectors must be fully qualified to perform their duties effectively. This course provides inspectors with the necessary knowledge and skills to maintain the safety of food sold at retail to consumers.
The course covers standard technical and administrative procedures, required equipment specifications, and standardization of field requirements. As a result of the inspection process, a certificate may be issued based on the findings. Certificates can undergo three statuses: renewal, suspension, termination, or cancellation. Inspectors use various forms to cover all aspects. To carry out the inspection process effectively, inspectors must possess strong communication skills. The FDA grants clients the right to appeal an inspector’s decision by following specific procedures.
